Default 2wd drive heavy duty ball joints!

OK so here it is. I have a 2002 2wd Dodge Ram 1500, i need to prep it for the winter. It has a 7inch lift from cst and riding on 37x12.50R20's. I saw one site that offered heavy duty ball joints but for only 4x4 and 2003 and up. If any one is interested i can give you the site just ask. I know they that ball joints out there i can press in that come with grease fittings but in my mind i would like something heavy duty and has a grease fitting. If anyone can help that would be great. I don't drive it that much but when i am parking i can hear the tie rod ends are shot. if any one knows of havy duty tire rod ends please let me know on that also. thank you for all your help.

Here is a better link. However, if you have an extra 800 to pay for a set then by all means go for it. I dont and wont pay that much when most people never will replace thier BJs and those that do replace them will only do it once before the truck is no longer in service or sold/traded

Carli is known for good components but they are also known to be expensive
